===========================================
Naruto ran as fast as he could to Neji until he finally reaches him.
"Neji! NEJI!" Naruto yelled until the boy finally stopped
"Naruto, I'll be going for a week, due to a mission handed to me today. I'll take this time to think, and I'd advice you to do the same." Neji informed Naruto
"You're leaving me...?" Naruto asked frighten a little
"Perhaps, Perhaps not. You need to get clean on how you feel for certain people. Until then, I don't want to see you." Neji stated as he turned around
Neji then vanished from Naruto's sight, as the blond was totally shocked by Neji's words. Naruto fell to his knees as he stared with sadness to his hands and tears began to fall.
From not far away, Sasuke observed everything as he wanted to rush over and comfort the boy, but he also knew this might complicate things.
Neji looked from a certain distance at the saddened Naruto, as a tear fell from his eye.
"Seems like I'm only good to make you cry my dear Naruto ... But this is for the best of both of us ..." Neji whispered to himself
From a certain distance, Sasuke watched Naruto as he crumbled under depression and cried his eyes out to the ground.
Uchiha wanted to run over to help the blond out until he detected a similar chakra hid in the woods not so far.
Sasuke walked towards where he felt the chakra, as he then leaned against a tree. His head rested against the trunk, as he placed his hands on his pocket and closed his eyes.
Sasuke stood about 10 meters away form the crying blond as he spoke calmly.
"You shouldn't hurt him like this." Sasuke stated
"I need no lectures coming from you. After all this is all your fault to begin with." Neji informed the dark haired boy
Neji stayed hidden in the trees, but his eyes never left his blond.
"Even so, he's not crying because of me right now ..." Sasuke stated as he started to walk towards the blond
"Just make sure he doesn't get lost while I'm gone." Neji ordered as he vanished for good this time
Sasuke had rolled his eyes for a few seconds to the last phrase Neji had told him until he continued to walk towards the blond.
"Naruto ..." Sasuke whispered as he kneeled in front of the blond
Naruto continued to cry, as Sasuke pulled the blond to his lap and tried to comfort him as he could.
Naruto's grip tighten on Sasuke's shorts, as he had trouble to breath.
Sasuke looked up to the sky to see the night was about to fall, as the warmth of the sun started to vanish as well.
Sasuke's eyes focused back to the blond when he noticed Naruto actually passed out from all the emotions he suffered from today.
Sasuke picked up the blond in his arms, as he started to walk back towards the Village.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Sasuke had made his way through the Village, without being noticed, as he gently laid the blond on the bed.
Sasuke covered Naruto with the sheets, to make sure he wouldn't freeze during the night.
As Sasuke prepared to leave the blond alone, he gently brushed Naruto's cheek and looked at the sleeping boy.
"Goodnight Naruto" Sasuke murmured as he closed the door to Naruto's room behind him
Sasuke then stood still for a few minutes as he had several thoughts cross his mind.
He then left Naruto's apartment and headed towards his own house to try and get some sleep.
============================================================================ ==========
*Day One*
Naruto awoke in his bed as he rubbed his eyes to try and clear up his blurred vision.
"Where am I?" Naruto mumbled as he looked around
After several minutes of inspection, he now was aware he was in his bedroom.
"How the heck did I end up here? I was in the park when Neji ..." Naruto felt his heart shatter when he remembered Neji's words
Without even thinking about it, Naruto's tears started to fall once again, as the blond was heartbroken over what happened the night before.
"Neji left me ... alone..." Naruto thought as he curled up into a ball and closed his eyes
============================================================================ ==========
*Sasuke's House*
Sasuke had fallen asleep next to his window as he slowly raised his head to see the sun lit his room.
"Guess I fell asleep" Sasuke thought as he stared at the sun
Sasuke slowly stood up on his feet, as he went to his closet to change clothes.
Once he was changed, he attached his holster back on his leg as he prepared to go out for some training.
"I hope you're doing better Naruto ..." Sasuke let out before he left his house
============================================================================ ==========
*Day Two*
The second day, Sasuke continued his training although he still worried about the blond. Unfortunately, due to a certain pink haired girl, Sakura, he wasn't able to even go check up on Naruto.
"Can't she ever leave me alone!?" Sasuke asked himself
============================================================================ ==========
"Naruto's Bedroom*
Naruto hadn't moved an inch since his heart shattered into so many pieces.
He laid there, without any emotions in his eyes.
Tears fell out until he would be exhausted again and fall asleep, crying.
============================================================================ ==========
*Day Three*
At the training grounds, Sasuke and Sakura awaited for their sensei to arrive since he was already two hours late.
Poof
Kakashi appeared as the smoke dissipated to reveal a smiley Jounin.
"Can't you ever be on time!" Sakura yelled at her sensei
"I got lost on my way here and ..." Kakashi started to explain as he patted the back of his head
"And stop lying!" Sakura interrupted him
"Gomen, gomen" Kakashi apologized
Sasuke stayed as neutral as usual, as Kakashi started to explain their mission when he noticed one of his student was missing.
"Where's Naruto?" Kakashi asked
"Something came up, he won't be here today." Sasuke replied as walked towards Kakashi and Sakura
"Oh? Well then I guess we'll do the mission without him then." Kakashi stated as he started to explain their mission
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Bedroom*
Naruto laid on his back, as he stared at the ceiling. Naruto slightly touched his cheeks as he felt the tears he had cried earlier were now dry.
"Why did this have to happen? I try to be good to both and I end up alone and hated again..." Naruto murmured as he turned to his side and curled up into a ball
============================================================================ ==========
*Day Four*
Naruto was sound asleep in his bed when he heard a loud sound coming from outside his bedroom.
Knock knock
"Leave me alone" Naruto mumbled as he closed his eyes again
Knock knock
"Leave me the HELL alone Dammit!" Naruto yelled out as he pulled the pillow to cover his ears
After a few minutes, Naruto thought the person that kept knocking on his door was finally gone, when he heard footsteps coming towards him.
"Chikushou! Can't you people see I'm ..." Started Naruto as he removed the pillow and faced his intruder
"As loud as ever I see." Iruka said as he stood beside Naruto's bed
"Iruka-sensei? What are you doing here?" Naruto asked as he forgot about his dried tears on his cheeks
"It's been like 3 days since you didn't come see me and begged for me to buy you ramen, I was getting worried." Iruka informed the boy as he patted the blond's head
"I wasn't hungry" Naruto replied coldly as he pushed Iruka's hand off his head
Iruka was a bit surprised by the sudden change in the boy's voice and action, as he sat on the edge of the bed and looked carefully at the blond.
"Well, how about I treat you to ramen today. Take as much as you want, my treat." Iruka mentioned with a smile
"I'm not hungry" Naruto mumbled as he laid back in his bed
Iruka was surprised and shocked by his former student's answer and now began to be worried.
"What's wrong Naru ..." Iruka started as he was interrupted by Naruto
"Look, I want YOU to LEAVE me ALONE. Now get OUT before I THROW you OUT!" Naruto demanded as he pulled the covers over his face
For several minutes, Iruka stared at the boy in shock of what he said, as he then decided it may be best if he left for now.
Iruka stood up as he left the house with one destination in mind.
"Maybe Kakashi knows what's going on" Iruka thought as he made his way towards the training grounds
============================================================================ ==========
*Training Grounds*
Kakashi had only arrived one hour late, as he awaited once more for Naruto to arrive.
"Kakashi must of rubbed his stupid lateness on that idiot Naruto" Thought Sakura
"It's been four days already, why isn't he here yet? If I have to go through another day with Sakura I'm going to kill her" Sasuke thought as he didn't show any emotions on his face
As Kakashi was about to speak, from a certain distance, he heard a voice he immediately recognized.
Iruka ran towards the small group as he wanted to mainly talk to Kakashi.
"Iruka-sensei how are ..." Started Kakashi with a smile
"What did you do to Naruto?" Iruka cut him
"Why does everyone keep interrupting me?" Thought Kakashi as Sasuke stepped forward to answer
"Nothing, he just had a quarrel with someone." Sasuke answered as he felt Kakashi's eyes to stare at him
"To my knowledge Naruto isn't in a relationship with anyone." Iruka answered
Sasuke rolled his eyes, as Sakura knew what the boy meant.
"Sasuke, why don't you go fetch Naruto?" Kakashi suggested
"Send Uchiha Sasuke to get Naruto out of his bed!?" Are you crazy Kakashi! I couldn't even get Naruto to get out of bed with ramen! What makes you think he could ..." Iruka started
"Shhhh. Sasuke will be able to accomplish this small mission without any trouble." Kakashi stated as Sasuke glared at Iruka before leaving
Sasuke vanished as he headed for Naruto's Apartment.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Apartment*
Naruto was once more lost in his thoughts, as he then felt something cold and wet pour on his entire body.
"What the HELL!?" Naruto yelled out as he jumped off his bed and landed on his butt
Naruto was soaked as he was a bit cold. He looked down to the ground and saw a pair of feet in front of him.
His raised his head from the feet up to see who was in his room, as blue eyes met dark eyes.
"Why the HELL did you do THAT for you bastard!" Naruto yelled out as he stood up quickly and faced his rival
Sasuke held a bucket in his hand, as he let out a smile upon the reaction he got from the blond.
"Glad to have you back dobe" Sasuke commented with another smile and tossed the bucket on the floor
Naruto was a bit shocked but understood what Sasuke meant.
"Hurry up and get changed before you catch a cold" Sasuke suggested as he started to walk outside the bedroom
"Sasuke, why are you here?" Naruto asked with low and confused voice
Sasuke stopped in the door frame as he turned just a little his head to his left, enough to get a glimpse of the blond.
"Actually, if I go another day without having you around, I'm going to kill that annoying girl. Besides I ... miss you..." Sasuke mumbled as he started to walk out
"Sasuke..." Naruto let out a bit surprised by Sasuke's response
"So hurry up dobe. I need to get back into shape to kick your ass again" Sasuke said with a smile
"Kick my ass again!? I'm the one who's going to kick your ass today!" Naruto yelled out as he changed quickly of clothes
Within a few minutes, Naruto quickly changed of clothing as he joined Sasuke.
"Ne Sasuke ..." Naruto started
"What?" Sasuke replied
"Arigatou ...for caring" Naruto thanked him as he kissed Sasuke's cheek and ran ahead to the training grounds.
Sasuke was shocked from the blond's action. He then gently placed his fingers where Naruto had kissed him and let out a smile.
"Always unpredictable" Sasuke thought as he walked his way to the training grounds
============================================================================ ==========
*Training Grounds*
Iruka was being impatient, as Kakashi leaned against a tree to read his favorite book.
Sakura sat at the ground as she slowly drifted into sleep until an irritating voice woke up.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" Naruo yelled out as he jumped around
Iruka's eyes widened at the sudden change in behavior of his student when half an hour so he seemed so depressed.
Sasuke wasn't far behind, as he walked calmly, hands in his pocket, to join the rest of the group. Of course, Sakura was the first the greet him as always.
"Welcome back Sasuke-kun!" Sakura waved at the boy with a wide smile
"Sakura" Sasuke started
"Hai?" Sakura let out "Don't you worry, he's going to tell you he's straight and not gay. Naruto must of done something to him last time, yeah that's right" Inner Sakura thought
"Give it up" Sasuke said
"Eh?" Sakura didn't quite understand
Sasuke took a deep breath, as he grabbed onto Sakura's wrist and pulled her closer to him.
"This is it! He's going to kiss me, and then we'll get married and live happily ever after" Inner Sakura thought as she smiled
Sasuke kept a certain distance when he pulled her in, as his lips joined to her ear as he whispered.
"You're truly annoying Sakura. And stop chasing me around. I'm not into girls. The only person I actually like is Naruto. So give it a rest." Sasuke informed her as he moved aside and pulled her away from him
As Sasuke let go if his grip, Sakura stayed shocked as the boy had said the opposite of what she was waiting to hear.
Sasuke joined up with Naruto and the two senseis.
"So Naruto, how about some ramen later tonight?" Iruka proposed to him
"As much as I like taking advantage of you, I'd rather be alone tonight, maybe tomorrow?" Naruto asked
"Advantage? Glad to have you back Naruto" Iruka thought " Sure. Well I should be going, I have my classes after all and wouldn't want to be late like others I know" Iruka said as he glared over to Kakashi
"Did you say something?" Kakashi asked with a neutral tone
"You heard me the first time" Iruka said as he vanished from everyone's sight
"Now, we can finally get some decent training now that all three of you are here." Kakashi let out
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other for a moment, as Sakura stayed at a certain distance from the group.
"We'll train on your chakra again, but on a different element" Kakashi said
"Huh? Didn't we learn enough by walking on trees?" Naruto asked
"This time, you'll use your chakra to walk on water." Kakashi informed him
"No fair I already know how to do that" Naruto pouted as he crossed his arms
"When did you learn that dobe?" Sasuke asked out of curiosity
"The perverted sennin thought me and I'm NOT a dobe" Naruto replied sticking out his tongue
"You're lucky that Kakashi is here or else I'd be doing something with that tongue of yours ..." Sasuke thought as he stared at the blond
"Hmmm, then I guess there's only Sasuke and Sakura to learn it then." Kakashi said
The team headed out to the nearest water like pond or river to practice their chakra to walk on water.
---- Hours Later ----
Naruto sat on the ground, as he laughed at Sasuke's attempts to control his chakra was hard for him.
Sakura on the other hand, had trouble to control it as well since her mind was occupied with other thoughts.
Kakashi was occupied reading his perverted book, Come Come Paradise, as he still kept on eye on all three students.
Finally, Sakura managed to control it a little, but not as well as Naruto. Sasuke on the other hand, stayed much longer than the pink haired girl.
To this point, Naruto was so bored that he fell asleep, as his head rested against his sensei's leg.
Kakashi closed his books, as he moved away from the blond which resulted in him, hitting his head on the ground.
"Itai!" Naruto yelled out as he sat back up
"Where you sleeping?" Kakashi asked with a smile
"Temea!" Naruto said as he pointed his fist
"Well, I think you've had enough training for today. Besides, Sakura I think you need some rest since you're the one that usually controls chakra so well." Kakashi stated as he put away his book
Sakura only gave a nod as she started to walk away to go back home.
"What did you two do to her?" Kakashi asked
"Oh, I think Sasuke finally told Sakura to leave him alone for good" Naruto replied as he looked over to his rival
Sasuke nodded as he started to walk away as well.
Naruto was about to follow when he felt a hand on his shoulder, holding him back.
"Naruto, try not to do anything stupid. You haven't lost Neji completely yet ..." Kakashi whispered into the boys ear
Naruto turned around to face hi sensei with wide eyes.
"How did you know about ..." Naruto started
"I know everything about my students Naruto, including their relationships" Kakashi said as he then smiled and waved goodbye to his student
POOF
Kakashi had vanished to leave a confused and stunned Naruto.
"He knew all along!? He is a perverted teacher!" Naruto told himself
"Baka, you coming?" Sasuke asked from far away
"Hai. And for the LAST TIME I'm NOT a baka" Naruto yelled back at him
Naruto ran towards the boy, as soon after they parted in opposite direction.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Apartment*
Naruto started to undress himself, when he heard a familiar sound.
Knock Knock
"I must be dreaming" Naruto thought as he took his orange suit off
Knock Knock
"Okay, now I'm either crazy or someone is trying to piss me off" Naruto told himself
Knock Knock
"That's it, now I'm pissed." Naruto said as he grabbed a shirt and pants and rushed towards the door
Knock Knock Knock Knock
"Alright already!" Naruto yelled out as the knocking continued
Naruto opened the door quickly and with great force as he was about to yell at the person for the continuous and annoying knocking, when his eyes widened at what stood in front of him.
"Naruto-kun ..." Hinata said as she had trouble speaking
"Hinata? What ... Why are you hear?" Naruto asked
"I... I didn't know where to bring him ..." Hinata said as she turned slightly to her left side revealing the person she carried on her back
"N...Neji...?" Naruto let out before his eyes widened in shock
TBC

"Hurry up and get changed before you catch a cold" Sasuke suggested as he started to walk outside the bedroom
"Sasuke, why are you here?" Naruto asked with low and confused voice
Sasuke stopped in the door frame as he turned just a little his head to his left, enough to get a glimpse of the blond.
"Actually, if I go another day without having you around, I'm going to kill that annoying girl. Besides I ... miss you..." Sasuke mumbled as he started to walk out
"Sasuke..." Naruto let out a bit surprised by Sasuke's response
"So hurry up dobe. I need to get back into shape to kick your ass again" Sasuke said with a smile
"Kick my ass again!? I'm the one who's going to kick your ass today!" Naruto yelled out as he changed quickly of clothes
Within a few minutes, Naruto quickly changed of clothing as he joined Sasuke.
"Ne Sasuke ..." Naruto started
"What?" Sasuke replied
"Arigatou ...for caring" Naruto thanked him as he kissed Sasuke's cheek and ran ahead to the training grounds.
Sasuke was shocked from the blond's action. He then gently placed his fingers where Naruto had kissed him and let out a smile.
"Always unpredictable" Sasuke thought as he walked his way to the training grounds
============================================================================ ==========
*Training Grounds*
Iruka was being impatient, as Kakashi leaned against a tree to read his favorite book.
Sakura sat at the ground as she slowly drifted into sleep until an irritating voice woke up.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" Naruo yelled out as he jumped around
Iruka's eyes widened at the sudden change in behavior of his student when half an hour so he seemed so depressed.
Sasuke wasn't far behind, as he walked calmly, hands in his pocket, to join the rest of the group. Of course, Sakura was the first the greet him as always.
"Welcome back Sasuke-kun!" Sakura waved at the boy with a wide smile
"Sakura" Sasuke started
"Hai?" Sakura let out "Don't you worry, he's going to tell you he's straight and not gay. Naruto must of done something to him last time, yeah that's right" Inner Sakura thought
"Give it up" Sasuke said
"Eh?" Sakura didn't quite understand
Sasuke took a deep breath, as he grabbed onto Sakura's wrist and pulled her closer to him.
"This is it! He's going to kiss me, and then we'll get married and live happily ever after" Inner Sakura thought as she smiled
Sasuke kept a certain distance when he pulled her in, as his lips joined to her ear as he whispered.
"You're truly annoying Sakura. And stop chasing me around. I'm not into girls. The only person I actually like is Naruto. So give it a rest." Sasuke informed her as he moved aside and pulled her away from him
As Sasuke let go if his grip, Sakura stayed shocked as the boy had said the opposite of what she was waiting to hear.
Sasuke joined up with Naruto and the two senseis.
"So Naruto, how about some ramen later tonight?" Iruka proposed to him
"As much as I like taking advantage of you, I'd rather be alone tonight, maybe tomorrow?" Naruto asked
"Advantage? Glad to have you back Naruto" Iruka thought " Sure. Well I should be going, I have my classes after all and wouldn't want to be late like others I know" Iruka said as he glared over to Kakashi
"Did you say something?" Kakashi asked with a neutral tone
"You heard me the first time" Iruka said as he vanished from everyone's sight
"Now, we can finally get some decent training now that all three of you are here." Kakashi let out
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other for a moment, as Sakura stayed at a certain distance from the group.
"We'll train on your chakra again, but on a different element" Kakashi said
"Huh? Didn't we learn enough by walking on trees?" Naruto asked
"This time, you'll use your chakra to walk on water." Kakashi informed him
"No fair I already know how to do that" Naruto pouted as he crossed his arms
"When did you learn that dobe?" Sasuke asked out of curiosity
"The perverted sennin thought me and I'm NOT a dobe" Naruto replied sticking out his tongue
"You're lucky that Kakashi is here or else I'd be doing something with that tongue of yours ..." Sasuke thought as he stared at the blond
"Hmmm, then I guess there's only Sasuke and Sakura to learn it then." Kakashi said
The team headed out to the nearest water like pond or river to practice their chakra to walk on water.
---- Hours Later ----
Naruto sat on the ground, as he laughed at Sasuke's attempts to control his chakra was hard for him.
Sakura on the other hand, had trouble to control it as well since her mind was occupied with other thoughts.
Kakashi was occupied reading his perverted book, Come Come Paradise, as he still kept on eye on all three students.
Finally, Sakura managed to control it a little, but not as well as Naruto. Sasuke on the other hand, stayed much longer than the pink haired girl.
To this point, Naruto was so bored that he fell asleep, as his head rested against his sensei's leg.
Kakashi closed his books, as he moved away from the blond which resulted in him, hitting his head on the ground.
"Itai!" Naruto yelled out as he sat back up
"Where you sleeping?" Kakashi asked with a smile
"Temea!" Naruto said as he pointed his fist
"Well, I think you've had enough training for today. Besides, Sakura I think you need some rest since you're the one that usually controls chakra so well." Kakashi stated as he put away his book
Sakura only gave a nod as she started to walk away to go back home.
"What did you two do to her?" Kakashi asked
"Oh, I think Sasuke finally told Sakura to leave him alone for good" Naruto replied as he looked over to his rival
Sasuke nodded as he started to walk away as well.
Naruto was about to follow when he felt a hand on his shoulder, holding him back.
"Naruto, try not to do anything stupid. You haven't lost Neji completely yet ..." Kakashi whispered into the boys ear
Naruto turned around to face hi sensei with wide eyes.
"How did you know about ..." Naruto started
"I know everything about my students Naruto, including their relationships" Kakashi said as he then smiled and waved goodbye to his student
POOF
Kakashi had vanished to leave a confused and stunned Naruto.
"He knew all along!? He is a perverted teacher!" Naruto told himself
"Baka, you coming?" Sasuke asked from far away
"Hai. And for the LAST TIME I'm NOT a baka" Naruto yelled back at him
Naruto ran towards the boy, as soon after they parted in opposite direction.
============================================================================ ==========
*Naruto's Apartment*
Naruto started to undress himself, when he heard a familiar sound.
Knock Knock
"I must be dreaming" Naruto thought as he took his orange suit off
Knock Knock
"Okay, now I'm either crazy or someone is trying to piss me off" Naruto told himself
Knock Knock
"That's it, now I'm pissed." Naruto said as he grabbed a shirt and pants and rushed towards the door
Knock Knock Knock Knock
"Alright already!" Naruto yelled out as the knocking continued
Naruto opened the door quickly and with great force as he was about to yell at the person for the continuous and annoying knocking, when his eyes widened at what stood in front of him.
"Naruto-kun ..." Hinata said as she had trouble speaking
"Hinata? What ... Why are you hear?" Naruto asked
"I... I didn't know where to bring him ..." Hinata said as she turned slightly to her left side revealing the person she carried on her back
"N...Neji...?" Naruto let out before his eyes widened in shock
TBC

Changagriel : You're right, I shouldn't but I did, but no worries I'll have a happy ending
